    And another one...

    Was at conference around 18 months ago and I was talking to a chap who said he was considering going contracting.

    He gets in touch the other day and said he's finally just made the leap and resigned from his permie job () and asks me how the contracting market is?

    qh
    He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

      I'd you ask him if you can have his job? ;-)

          Happened to me last month - on a contract September last year and they had an intern on a 12 month contract there. He was intrigued with contracting as he was asking me lots of questions about it and I obviously educated him on it. Last month he got in touch via LinkedIn and confessed that he has left the 12 month contract and wants to start contracting properly, asking me he's looking for a 6 month contract and where can he go to get it....?!

            You didn't "educate" him sufficiently.

              Has he got a radiator key and/or a gladius?

                Hahaha, FFS! I can well believe this happening.
